Apocalypse Now responds to wars around the globe, both past and present, but it also addresses how the language and iconography of war are embedded in everyday life and our broader social consciousness. The show includes works by a number of international contemporary artists as well as a diverse range of cultural artifacts, not all of which are directly related to war per se, but which do, within the exhibition environment, function as tools or even weapons of attack. The show is at war with itself, examining how struggle, conflict, and resistance can be built into each element of an installation. The viewer sees the unpalatable side of humanity, and scenes and situations that repel, while examining how exhibitions can test not only visual but also personal boundaries.
